Narritive Poem

Where Did My Job Go?

When I first met my FRIEND

I was in a store

I paid so much for him I couldn’t pay anymore

I brought him home to play with and adore

We were, best friends for ever even when I got older

I finally got a JOB at a FACTORY store

Where they made big old boulders

I had great fun, it wasn’t in the sun

It was down in a big black hole

Work always pays of everyday

I had to pay my BILLS so my family could stay

My manager came up to me saying

I don’t need YOU any more

I have your friend to make my big blocks

Now I won't be able to buy my son any socks

No INCOME to spare

Although I didn’t DARE

To try to get back there

Because my job was in the hands of my best friend

They will be regretting that they LOST me

I was their HARDEST WORKER, but they don’t seem to care

My friend had a hard drive built in to him, with  no feelings to give

Because he was a ROBOT.

Now I have plenty of time to spare

 To find a job but they are rare

Nobody wants to hire a person that gets fired

Now I admire

The one true friend of my life

Now comes the hardest part of all

Telling my WIFE

She wasn’t upset nor did she seem to care

Her eyes didn’t CROSS, although her nose didn’t FLARE

Instead she smiled

Then reached for my hand saying:

It may take awhile maybe not today or tomorrow but we will be okay

After all we have each other.
